Answer:

The refrigerated box car

Step-by-step explanation:

A refrigerated car, also called reefer, was a railroad rolling stock that had the purpose of transporting perishable freight at specific temperatures.

The reefers have a ventilation system or cooling apparatus, but they can be ice cooled or use dry ice as a cooling agent.
